plot_polygon(polygon, ax=None, add_points=True, color=None, facecolor=None, edgecolor=None, linewidth=None, **kwargs)#

Plot a (Multi)Polygon.

Note: this function is experimental, and mainly targeting (interactive) exploration, debugging and illustration purposes.

Parameters:

polygonshapely.Polygon or shapely.MultiPolygon
axmatplotlib Axes, default None: The axes on which to draw the plot. If not specified, will get the current active axes or create a new figure.
add_pointsbool, default True: If True, also plot the coordinates (vertices) as points.
colormatplotlib color specification: Color for both the polygon fill (face) and boundary (edge). By default, the fill is using an alpha of 0.3. You can specify facecolor and edgecolor separately for greater control.
facecolormatplotlib color specification: Color for the polygon fill.
edgecolormatplotlib color specification: Color for the polygon boundary.
linewidthfloat: The line width for the polygon boundary.
**kwargs: Additional keyword arguments passed to the matplotlib Patch.

Returns:

shapely.plotting.plot_polygon
